Card key didn’t work right away. 4 guests but only 3 towels. Pool area was way too hot. Nice to have breakfast and staff were really sweet.

Bed was hard and bedding was literally a sheet and small blanket no comforter or extra blankets. Lots of noise from hallway and adjacet rooms.

The room selected for me was located next to the rear entrance that resulted in me hearing every guest enter and leave as the two metal fire doors were banged around. Surely it wasn't the last room available.

Musty Rooms
We have stayed at this hotel several times each time we stay there we have respiratory issues. The HVAC units smell musty. Considering the prices of the rooms in Willmar are as high are higher then Minneapolis but you have no choice because there is no other options on places to stay.
Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023
Response from Dave Feist, GM on Aug 1, 2023
Hi SusanWe're so sorry to hear about your respiratory issues! In looking at our notes, you were very specific on where you wanted to be located after your recent surgery and it appears we did accommodate your request. That said, I'm sorry you didn't feel comfortable sharing any of your other concerns while you were on property. And yes, despite the air conditioners being in good working order, when we have a heat wave with high temps and humidity, the rooms can seem a bit humid as well, as the units are putting out condensation as they are cooling.We wish you a speedy recovery and perhaps if you come back during a timeframe where demand is not this high, you'll find rates in our area to be more in line with whatever your expectations are. You'll see prices in metro areas rise with demand just like anywhere else in the nation, so that comparison isn't really accurate, as we always strive to be competitive within the market.Thank you for your feedback!

It was a pleasant experience. Convenient on-site restaurants was very nice to not have drive anywhere for a nice dinner. Disappointed that the hot tub was set way too hot. No one was in it the whole time we were here. My husband always takes a hot tub where ever we stay and has never come across one this hot, not good. Also our toilet was running when we entered the room, my husband adjusted it and then it was fine.

We had to wait 15+minutes before anyone came to help us at the desks then very slow check in. Our room was 2n floor down long hallway then an other and then an other .it was bad cleaning rag left in bathroom. Just not good. "By the pool. Noise was until 12. Just bad. And ready bad for the money.

Response from Dave on May 8, 2022
Thank you Maria for sharing your experience with us. With the hotel at full capacity, we can understand the frustration with having to walk further than some of our other guests. Unfortunately, there is little we can do about that unless we're made aware of any physical issue when booking the reservation initially. We are also sorry that the housekeeper left one of her microfiber cloths in the bathroom and that our inspector missed that also. Our pool area is open until 11:30pm on the weekends so we expect things to quiet down by midnight as you suggested. We are so sorry that this was upsetting to you. We appreciate your feedback and will share this with our teams to see what we can do to minimize this sort of experience again.

Great place
Great place! Friendly staff. Wonderfully clean rooms. Great breakfast. Fitness center open 24hrs with great cardioid equipment. There was no maid service because of help shortage which means I had to make the towels and washcloths provided stretch, but to be fair, I could have called the front desk for additional supplies. I had a poolside room which was a bit noisy at night, but nothing I couldn't handle. I have family in Willmar, so next time I know someplace convenient and clean and comfy to stay.

Room was spacious and clean. (There was a used towel hanging on the back of the bathroom door.) After being in my Erik for several hours, I reported the smell of weed being smoked and was immediately given a new room. Desk clerk was amazing.
